You bet! - see my earlier posting re. Flight Unlimited 2 - I have the
identical problem - I reinstalled 5 times - most other games work except
Turok, Falcon 4.0 to date in 3dfx mode - I am seriously pissed off with
repeatedly returning games to the store! - By the way your description of
the problem could not be more accurate - that's great because it proves I
was not making some stupid error!
